so I finally made my trek a pied to the infamous "7 ELEVEN"
(i ran out of cheese let alone all other foods) Most exciting part,
aside from the feel of the cool air lifting me along, is that they sell
WINE!!! so lets calculate: Japanese Sushi/Teriyaki Bar next door,
Home Depot across the street(the new designed HD & no I am not talking about a certain person I am referring to the actual store for all of those who know what the reference means) 7 Eleven that sells wine and champagne, all within a stones throw.
The walk felt good - its totally different from the commute. the commute sucks-pushing and shoving, racing for a seat and exhorbent fare cost. give me a stroll anytime. I wish I could just stroll to work everyday. correction - stroll everywhere w/the occasional strut!!!
(e:Twisted) I need to obtain a camera phone. There is so much I wish I could document during the day without whipping out the big brick (sony mavica) Like yesterday there was some weird evacuation from my bldg. no one knew what was going on; the alarm is going off, the fire trucks are wheeling around the corner, and the people just "mosey" out the bldg like there is no possibility of threat. I wish I could have captured that moment amonst others. Keep up the wonderful pics!


~Thank Heaven for 7 Eleven is what my receipt says~

yeah Paul, I think I agree with (e:Matthew), opting to model your total bootyliciousness!!! don't get me started in uploading....
LOL :)

lunch update: avoided the station; opted for a street dog; sat in front of Georgetown Law; continued my current reading; I think I am starting to wonder what if I...?

perhaps at the end of the reading I will be able to write my own thoughts about if I had one for a day & what its like to be the other sex...

however it's missing vegetables; insert (e:terrys) beautiful veggies [inlink]paul,2407[/inlink] & then its complete!!!
Oh & I made it wearing this:

see, I really do miss you guys so much!

monday nov 15th

enjoyed the long weekend. monday came and I didn't feel like being on time today. what else is new. perhaps I enjoyed sleeping alone in my Queen size bed far too long [inlink]metalpeter,193[/inlink]/ [inlink]lilho,190[/inlink]!!!
I cannot remember when I slept in a twin size bed...hmmm
All I know is that I love my featherbed and down comforter - yet I currently desire more fluff but perhaps less feathers. As I wake up with feathers in my hair sometimes and oftentimes they get in my clothes too! speaking of feathers; those birds @ Union Station are going to drive me nuts. they fly so damn low and right at you - they are fearless and demand that if you don't get out of it's way you will be hit!!! Yuck!!! There is no escaping it since I have to go through this station 4 times a day. Perhaps I can minimize it to twice daily if I start taking lunch and stop buying expensive crap everyday. Today I ate at Starbucks and had a turkey & havarti while reading "Dick for a Day" by Fiona Giles. I do enjoy eating in the station because I get to people watch or listen - listening to people talk about one another, complain that their order is incorrect; watch people dart for trains and the metro; watch people watch you; etc etc etc;

I must say its a totally dangerous place - there are so many resturants its insane! (e:Terry) we would never have to wonder what can we eat for lunch it would be what won't we eat today!!! big_grin I must ween myself away before I become a rollie pollie - there is an inhouse Ben & Jerry's too!!! mmm yummy! Why can't lunch be two hours long? I could have a full course lunch meal and take in a movie before returning to the office .

brb must cook a real dinner.

So I decided to make boneless skinless 99 % fat free thinly sliced chicken breast w/marjoram & a drizzle of roasted garlic olive oil and stuffing for dinner. and because I don't want to open another bottle of wine I will drink what is open: Santa Rita Sauvignon Blanc ((who ever brought this to my birthday party - Mucho Grazias, its delicious)) Now I should have leftovers ommitting the wine to take to work for lunch tomorrow thus limiting my contact with those crazy nasty birds that look like they ate squirrels for lunch!

its nice to slumber. esp when thinking about the night before.
where does all that thinking get you?
hmmmm.... - no answer yet

ps
i love georgetown!

it's weird not partying on thursdays.
i guess I live amongst the average.
bars close down @ 2 ish

i think by now, I am tired of people from here
asking me why did I move here. Because I damn
well wanted to !!! anyway, :)

rain rain rain = go away = so dreary with the rain and
it makes people nuts here. they will knock down the
elderly and the crippled not to mention the blind just
to make a train. whatever happened to politeness?

i want to go out looking cute tonight but the rain puts a damper on that
no suede shoes, no fly hair do, whats a girl to do?

soulive is playing tonight. the black eyed peas are playing sunday

hmm $$$....

hope you epeeps have a good time doing whatever tonight!

check out Pink Martini while you are at it:

still unpacking. kitchen=1 box left; bedroom=too many!!! empty boxes=everywhere!!! sigh...

Is it too early to start my frivolous holiday wish list? the sights and snow flakes from Buffalo are inspiring me:

1) Mp3 player (pink mini ipod or a cute rio) need some tunes to boogie to while commuting!
2) digital camera still on the list (canon please santa or whoever)
3) money is always acceptable
4) flat screen pc monitor - this one is functional yet ultra bulky - furniture must be streamlined in smaller living spaces
5) new car w/sunroof cd player tires w.hubcaps engine/transmission that is reliable
6) shoes (imagirl)
7) money to buy roundtrip ticket to see family @ christmas
8) can anyone say a tv that is bigger than micro mini one...
9) a presidential agenda that is acceptable to all (wishful thinking)
10) world peace still makes the top ten



time to let the sweet dreams tea do its magic - although last night I had a cup & had the craziest dreams. lots of people I didn't know and places; flying cars and stuff.

sometimes no sooner than you think about someone they then just appear

Can this post continue for days to come? how about the rest of the week???
I thought the 100th post would be something profound - overflowing with deep, self explanation & exposure of southernyankee. oh well. there goes a bright idea.
I won't complain too much, except I have an early curfew: Yes boys and girls the night owl must retire by 10pm (last night it was 9pm) Adjusting to morning rush hour sucks! Boy do I miss those days of going into work @ noon (& hung over on most of them!)
No siree, can't pull that off here (at least not yet) j/k
super sleepy am I. no time to unpack today - time to crash. bundle up Buffalo - I dedicate to you"Baby It's Cold Outside" by Rod Stewart feat Dolly Parton from the new album Stardust, The Great American Song Book Vol III (even though I like some of the other versions better)

I hope everyone is still around to fight against the crazy local govt. there+. No public libraries? Buffalo doesn't need access to books -just more bars!!! It will be the new locale for breeding illiterate hooligans who could challenge capt. morgan any day! It's really a shame that things have progressed this bad.

I watched my local town board meeting on tv here & one of the citizens' biggest complaint was to ensure the city govt had some say so in what color to paint "Grandmas Cottage" - he went on to say that it should not be painted chartreuse,hot pink or any other color that would signify same sex partners(not the term he used).... WTF? since when does the color of your house send out batman like signals that you like the same sex or anything other than your lack of coordination of color scheme? I love chartreuse and hot pink! I personally like the opposite sex(on a good day that is...) but what the heck does that have to do with anything. same dude thought it appropriate to wear a slogan t-shirt to this public hearings (anti-abortion it read in so many words) - whatever. this isn't said to open a can of arguments on the site based on which side of the fence you vote on or where your moral values fall between the red/blue lines but the point being made (all while I fall asleep) is that I felt he represented so many more Americans and how they feel that they are right (right up the ally of the pres) in what they believe in and that laws should be enacted to protect his feelings/opinions.
Laws should be there to protect us from danger, etc but not from our neighbors way of life that in no way infringes on my life;

personally can't stand hate. Hate for the things that you cannot change about yourself or others. I sat next to a man on the long train ride home and could feel his levels of discomfort rise...
get over it. we live in a world where people are from different cultures, have different ideas, practice different religions, and so forth...

you were born into this world the way you are for a reason. if we had control over how/who/what we are - I wonder how that would turn out? I really think we would be the same way in a lot of ways (maybe a little different - I doubt anyone would pick the option to be a slave)


I have totally digressed in a major way and its waaaaaaaaaay past night night time. sorry for going off on a obscure tangent. later
